HONORING JODY SINGER
(Mr. STRONG asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. STRONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Jody Singer,
director of Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, on her
upcoming retirement following 38 years of dedicated leadership to NASA.
Director Singer's leadership, expertise, and vision were vital to the
success of the International Space Station, the James Webb Telescope,
the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer mission, the DART mission, the
Space Launch System development, and the Artemis I mission. It is also
with great pride that I commend her in leading over 110 space shuttle
launches.
For over three decades, she has advocated for human spaceflight,
science and technology development, and deep space exploration.
As an industrial engineer, she possesses the technical skills
necessary to excel in advanced exploration projects, science flight
mission programs, and technology demonstration missions. Through two
NASA fellowships, she also gained expertise in business operations,
project management, and executive leadership.
I congratulate Director Singer for her service to our community and
dedication to the future of space exploration. I have no doubt that her
successor will continue to advocate for Marshall. Together, we will
continue to uphold the Rocket City's legacy of human systems
development, scientific discovery, and technological advancements.
